Corinne Olympios Reveals Herself As 'Victim' In 'Bachelor in Paradise' Scandal
Production was suspended and the contestants were sent home after allegations of misconduct on the show that reportedly involved a sexual encounter with a female contestant who may have been too intoxicated to consent. "I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4. Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production," Olympios says in a statement. The 25-year-old adds "as a woman, this is my worst nightmare and it has now become my reality." "As I pursue the details and facts surrounding that night and the immediate days after, I have retained a group of professionals to ensure that what happened on June 4 comes to light and I can continue my life, including hiring an attorney to obtain justice and seeking therapy to begin dealing with the physical and emotional trauma stemming from that evening." She's hired celebrity lawyer Marty Singer, whose clients have included Charlie Sheen, Quentin Tarantino and Bryan Singer. 'Bachelor in Paradise' is currently conducting its own investigation and now, with the legalities involved, its unlikely this season will ever hit the airwaves.
